Field Notes in Functional Anatomy

 Field Notes in Functional Anatomy

Get to know each muscle like an old friend.

Where do they begin? Where do they end? How do they influence the structures around them? What role do they play in posture and movement? When they hurt, where do they hurt?

In Field Notes in Functional Anatomy, we take the slow path—one muscle at a time—exploring each structure and how it behaves within the living body.

Each month, we study a single muscle or fascial structure in context, with special attention to posture, pain patterns, myofascial relationships, and the structures around it.

Along the way, you’ll build your own Field Notes: a growing collection of anatomical profiles, clinical observations, and practical insights to return to again and again in your practice.
